"Don't Let Your Dryer Start a Fire, Keep Your Home Safe & Sound" are part of Dryer Vent Wizard's ongoing campaign promoting dryer vent safety & fire protection
Charlotte, NC -- According to the US Fire Administration, dryer fires account for an average of $15,000 dryer fires annually. Emilie Benvegna, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard of Charlotte, North Carolina said, "Failure to properly maintain dryer vents is a major contributor to clothes dryer fires." Emilie is franchise owner/operator of Dryer Vent Wizard (DVW), Dry Clothes, Safe Homes. She began her business in 2006. "This career change has been most rewarding for me," said Emilie. "I like that I'm giving back to the community and educating consumers on dryer fire prevention while I work."
Emilie was recently interviewed and she explained how Dryer Vent Wizard advises consumers to be sure the dryer vent systems are up to code with the city, state and manufacturer by replacing any plastic or foil vent systems with semi-rigid or solid metal venting. She offered tips like checking the lint screen before each load and cleaning it after each load to help prevent lint build-up in the dryer vent system. "There's much more to maintaining the dryer vent system than just cleaning the lint screen," Emilie explained. "A lot of the lint escapes the filter and ends up stuck to the inside of the vent, causing air-flow restriction, overheating and eventually, a fire."
Emilie makes sure her customers understand the warning signs to look for, including clothes taking more than one cycle to dry, especially jeans and towels, no visible lint on the lint screen, dryer repeatedly stops during a cycle, clothing having a moldy smell after a dry cycle, and clothing being very hot after a dry cycle. "I'm so glad I called Emilie when my clothes dryer wasn't working properly," said a happy customer. "She showed me where the problem was and explained how easily a fire could have started. I have three pre-school aged children; a fire would have been devastating!"
Prior to becoming a Dryer Vent Wizard franchisee, Emilie spent 7 years in the construction industry. She holds a degree in business management, has two children and a supporting husband and partner, Jim Benvegna.
Emilie urges consumers to have their dryer vent systems professionally inspected and cleaned at least one per year, depending on the amount of use. She offers valuable tips and information on her website at http://www.charlottedryerventlady.com Emilie services consumers in Charlotte, Concord, Huntersville, Waxhaw, Weddington, Matthews, Pineville, Monroe, Kannapolis, Harrisburg, Mooresville, Gastonia, Rock Hill, Cornelius, UpTown, SouthPark, Ballentine and neighboring cities and communities.

99 out of 100 clothes dryers have a problem with air flow and lint build up which can cause a dryer to run inefficiently and eventually, lead to a fire
Charlotte, NC -- Dryer Vent Wizard, Dry Clothes, Safe Homes has noticed the biggest safety hazard in clothes dryers are the vents running from the back of the dryer to the outside of the home. Emilie Benvegna, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard in Charlotte, North Carolina, recalls an issue in an apartment complex where roof was recently replaced and the vent was completely obstructed. Thankfully, she was called with a complaint that a tenant's dryer was taking several cycles to dry clothes. The tenant said, "My washer and dryer are only a couple years old and the dryer was working fine until I moved here. I'm so happy that I called Dryer Vent Wizard. Emilie explained the problem to me and I just can't put into words how relieved I am that a potential fire hazard has been fixed."
Emilie performs a thorough inspection of a dryer vent system and corrects problems before they become dangerous. There are at least 10 factors to look at when checking a clothes dryer for safety, including vents, airflow and the amount of lint on the floor behind the dryer. When customers complain about dryers taking too long to get clothes dry, this is a big red flag, indicating a probable venting problem. Many people think it is normal for older dryers to take longer to dry their clothes. Emilie makes sure her customers understand that this is a myth.
Dryer vents should be checked by a professional annually to be sure there are no clogs the system is in good working order. Larger homes have longer vents making it more difficult for homeowners to access all parts of the vent for cleaning. Dryer Vent Wizard has special equipment for accessing and cleaning all parts of the dryer vent system.
Fire prevention and safety begins at home; go to http://www.charlottedryerventlady.com for more information. Tell your friends, loved ones, and neighbors, especially if you live in an apartment building, or attached condos to do the same. Your life could be in the hands of your neighbors.

When a dryer fire occurs in an apartment complex, a lot of lives are in danger and many people end up homeless, due to the negligence of one tenant
Charlotte, NC - When fires occur in apartment buildings, the results are most devastating. Emilie Benvegna recently spoke at a landlords' convention where she displayed a model of a dryer vent system and showed just how easily a fire could start in the dryer vent. Emilie explained, "Lint is very combustible. When a dryer vent is clogged with lint, air-flow is restricted, causing overheating and eventually, a fire. This is especially devastating in an apartment building where many lives are at risk."
Emilie Benvegna, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard in Charlotte, North Carolina, brought up a good point when speaking to the landlords and apartment managers. "Dryer vents should be professionally inspected at least once a year to prevent lint build-up from causing a fire. When tenants don't properly maintain their dryer vent systems, the landlords end up being liable for whatever happens. In large buildings, many lives are at risk, because of one negligent tenant," Emilie explained.
Dryer Vent Wizard, Dry Clothes, Safe Homes, specializes in dryer vent cleaning, repair, installation and alterations. They also provide an invaluable service to their community, educating each customer in dryer vent maintenance and dryer fire prevention. Emilie covers everything her customers need to know about proper cleaning and maintenance of their dryer vent system. "My job isn't complete until my customer understands how their dryer vent system works and how to maintain it between annual cleanings," Emilie said.
Emilie urges landlords and apartment building managers to have all dryer vents in the building professionally cleaned and inspected at least once a year or whenever a tenant moves out. "The cost of the inspection and necessary repairs is really small compared to potential damages, injuries and loss of lives if a dryer vent fire should occur," said Emilie.

DRYER VENT CLEANING IS THE NUMBER ONE PREVENTION OF CLOTHES DRYER FIRES!
Many people overlook this very serious issue when they schedule seasonal maintenance on their appliances. Most people know to have their furnace cleaned and to change their furnace filter, but too many overlook the clothes dryer. Believe it or not, your clothes dryer poses a much greater risk of fire than your furnace!
Dryer dos and don'ts:
· Clean the lint filter before or after each load. Don't forget to clean the back of the dryer where lint can be trapped.
· The interior of the dryer and venting system should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel. If you notice the drying time is longer, clean the vent system thoroughly to ensure proper airflow.
· Replace plastic, vinyl and aluminum foil venting with rigid or flexible metal venting.
· Do not dry clothing/fabric on which there is anything flammable (alcohol, cooking oils, gasoline, spot removers, dry-cleaning solvents, etc.). Flammable substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
· Don't forget to read manufacturers' warnings in use and care manuals that accompany new dryers. Also, warning markings can usually be found on the inside of the dryer's lid and take only minutes to read.
These tips are provided by Emilie Benvegna, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard of Charlotte, Norch Carolina. Your dryer vent system should be professionally inspected NOW and professionally cleaned at least once a year, depending on the size of your family and how much laundry is being done.

Great Dryer Vent Cleaning!
The following was sent to about 175 people by a satisfied customer:
"Okay, you are going to think I am crazy e-mailing you about your dryer - BUT - when we moved here over a year ago, I finally got a great set. Only when we used it, I noticed that after a few months I had to run it twice to get my loads dry. (I thought nothing of it b/c it seemed no matter where I lived, my dryers ran twice on heavy loads.) I just figured this is how it is with all dryers."
Well, the past few weeks, we have had to run our dryer even up to 4 times on a heavy load. There was even a "moldy" type smell in our towels. I called a dryer repair guy b/c I figured the heating element was going out. He told me that on dryers, if it is drying, even a little, it is more likely to be my dryer vent. He told me to hire someone to come and clean the vent that goes through the house.
I thought I could do it myself, so I went downstairs and pulled the vent out of the wall to find an extreme amount of build-up!!! It was damp and had that "moldy" smell that my towels have had. I tried to clean it out and the more I reached in the more clogged it was. I knew if it was clogged here, that the inside pipe had to be backed up.
I called a place called "Dryer Vent Wizard". It runs normally about $150 to come out, inspect and clean. That is for a normal 20 foot pipe. Ours ran 36 feet and was up and down and all around - causing our vent build-up. Even though it was over $150 for our case to clean it, let me tell you IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!
After he cleaned it out filling a 5 gallon tub full of lint, I ran my dryer for a load and it dried PERFECTLY in a shorter amount if time. I have honestly NEVER had my clothes dry so fast. It seems like common sense that the vent needs to be cleaned, but thinking about it, this house was never cleaned in over 20 years and no other house I ever lived in was ever cleaned - so it was never my dryers, but probably my vents all along!!!
Anyway, they charge $39 to come out and take a look. (For a membership type thing of like $29 they will come out once a year and not charge the $39 fee.)
I HIGHLY recommend it!! Just thought I´d pass this along! We spend time and money on ‘big purchases' like our oil changes, etc. - why not keep other important things maintained? Not to mention it is a huge fire hazard!
Dryer Vent Wizard´s # is: 1-866-498-safe (7233) for someone in your area. (Alabama)
